Can Netflix movies be downloaded?

There is a service called Play Later that can record streaming video using a computer in your household as a media server. The video quality is "acceptable" but it does require that you have a reasonably fast computer and it does pretty much tie the computer up during both the recording and playback phase. Also, if your internet service slows down and you get the dreaded "Loading" message from Netflix, your computer will continue to record that message without knowing there is no movie!
